RE: cross platform replication

   You might also want to add into your decision process what hardware would
   be required.  I know for instance Symbiator requires a Windows base box to
   run on (other than your Oracle server if it is running on one).  When I
   worked with DataMirror and Mimix they didn't, but that was sometime ago. 
   Also, Mimix (when I worked with it) required the files to be journaled,
   but I don't believe either DataMirror or Symbiator did. 

   I have no experience with RPG2SQL Integrator.
